plctely filled and crowded the house,
almost every prominent family in town
wa represented. The lauies were mostly
in full dp,Ss. Senator farwell and his
family occupied one OF the stage boxes,
and Mr.. John Dokoven and his daughter,
with a party, occupied the adjoining one.
On the other side a box was reserved
for Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald De
Koven and Mr.. Smith. The
opera was received with the most
enthusiastic applause, every song and
chorus being repeatedly cncorcd. At the
end OF the first act, after the curtain had
been rung up three times, there were loud
calls for the composer and author, who, in
brief speeches. expressed their thanks for
tho kind reception. Flowers from all parts
OF the house wcrc thrown into the box oc-
cuplod by the two young men. Col. Me
Caull was next called for, and finally made
his appearance before the curtain. After

Andrassy HOnored.

vienna, Dec. 26.-Emperor Francis
Joseph, in the letter which accompanied
his Christmas gift TO Count Andrassy,
says that the present is given in recog-
milton of the hospitality extended to the
Emperor by Count Andnssy, during the
military maneuvers. The gilt is generally
believed, however. TO have q political sig
niiicance, the opinion being that the En-.
peror wished to express his approval OF
Count Andrassy's energetic policy. 1t il
stated that when the count returned from
the Berlin congress, the Emperor wished
to raise him to the rank OF prince, and
asked several ofthe Hungarian ministers tc
try TO induce him to accept the honor
Count Andrassy, however, refused the
title, and also declined to accept an order
80 that the Emperor's only way to honoI
the count was TO send him an autograph
letter, which is the highest Austrian dis
tinction.
